Confirmed runners and riders for the Coral Cup

The runners and riders have been confirmed for the Coral Cup on Wednesday 12th March at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Dan Skelton-trained Be Aware and Henry De Bromhead's Ballyadam have been declared amongst a field of 26 for the third race on Wednesday.

Paul Townend will be on board Bunting for Willie Mullins, with the five-year-old already shortening the Coral Cup odds.

Mullins also has King Alexander and Jimmy Du Seuil at his disposal, with the latter finishing second in the Baring Bingham at odds of 66/1 at last year's Festival.

There are four Gordon Elliott horses in the race in the form of Samui, Beacon Edge, Sa Fureur and Maxxum, while Nicky Henderson has two runners in Impose Toi and outsider Captain Morgs.
